In Loving Memory Of Alfie

On 12-22-2010 I went to the ranch with my husband to help the barn manager with water buckets and other things.

We got the brood mares out of the arena and I walked over to Alfie's stall where I found him laying down with his head under the panal and in Mercadies stall. He must have laid there all night. We had to take the panals apart to see if we could get him up. We did get him up and got him moving but he could hardly walk from being on the cold arena floor and cold. He was dripping wet from over working. I stayed with him and walked him and so did the barn manager but when we left him he would lay down or fall down.

The owner told the barn manager to call the vet but then she changed her mind agter we got him up. then finally she concented in having a vet come out and give him some meds to see if we could make him well again. Alfie was dehidrated and had hypothermia. She called back and said to put him down.

So my husband DJ, the barn manager and I along with the vet and his helper took Alfie to a nice place where he would rest for all eternity and puit him down.

I never got any sleep lastnight.

I miss him so. He was a great horse and was like he was mine even though he was not.

Alfie my friend run free in the clouds.

You may be gone but you will never be forgotten my old friend.

I will visit you someday

Hugs, love and kisses

I would at least given him the chance, those 18 hours may have been all he needed to survive this but we will never know this now. He is now running free and wild with Sheera, Bunny, MissM and and all the others we have lost over the years. I will always have a special place in my heart for him.I also want to thank lil Krissie for letting Hershey give me a wet kiss, I love all ove you

Bless you all

Love Kathi

When special people like yourself loose a loved one it seems so hard to find the right words to let you know how truly sorry I am about your loss.

My prayers are with you my sister. I have said a prayer for Alphie as well, May he run free and wild like the free spirit he is now

Much love and hugs

Jesse
